SPOILERS




> 39. Sybill Trelawney will predict Harry's death AGAIN. - No, p. 582,
>      MoM, etc.

Yes, she did.  P. 315 US ed:  And by the time she had interpreted Harry's
dreams at the top of her voice (all of which, even the ones that involved
eating porridge, apparently foretold a gruesome and early death), he was
feeling much more sympathetic toward her.  Although she also did something
we never would have expected her to do, as you say.

> 56. Binns will send someone to sleep.

Pretty much the entire class with the exception of Hermione.  First HoM
class it says that the only person who can resist the soporific drone of
Binns's voice is her.  Although we don't hear of Harry or Ron themselves
sleeping, I'm sure someone was.

> 57. Even the dumbest students (read Crabbe and Goyle) will somehow
>      manage to pass their exams. -? p. 709, July

Snape seemed to think Crabbe might not pass his O.W.L.s, but we don't know
yet, do we?


> 80. Someone will be interrupted before divulging a very important
>      story line clue -

One of the Occlumency lessons, p. 593.  "Can you tell me something, sir?"
said Harry, firing up again.  "Why do you call Voldemort the Dark Lord, I've
only ever heard Death Eaters call him that-"  I was really annoyed when that
conversation was interrupted, and I have the feeling his answer could've
been important to the story line.

> 95. Wormtail will tremble. -

Does trembling with excitement count?  Pensieve scene, Sirius thought
Wormtail would wet himself from excitement.

> 98. Something will smell like cabbage.

How about smelling like goat?

> 112. Someone we thought was good well end up being bad. - No

Not exactly, but we did see a darker side to James.

> 116. Harry and all the Weasley's will be at platform 9 3/4
>      together. - p. 182

Not all the Weasleys were there.
